#3 - Regular or stiff? Regular would be what I would buy, would there be any benefit to stiff for me?

I still hit my long irons, but have put a 20* hybrid in my bag. You will love them, especially if you have problems hitting long irons.
#1 - They say a 20* should be about a 4 iron, but from experience and watching several others, you will hit a hybrid farther than the iron it is supposed to replace. So I sometimes pull my 3 iron and hit a hybrid which is what they would call a 4.
#2 - Can't really go wrong either way, I am using graphite, as most others are too.
#3 - All depends on your swing? Go with what you have in your wood/irons. If you are a Reg and swing a stiff you will lose distance.
FYI - Adams makes good hybrids, and can be bought cheap. I don't like offset, but for the average golfer it is a good thing. I picked up one off e bay for $11.50 for a brand new Idea, I gave it to a friend, and he loves it. I am hitting a Cobra right now.
I will say, Hybrids are probably one of the best things that have came out in golf to improve the game of a recreational golfer. People that struggle to hit 3 and 4 or even 5, if you want to go that far, will be amazed.
Just get on ebay, 3balls or other big stores, will have plenty of cheap choices for you.
